<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 228132, member: 136&quot;]I would imagine that Scott&#039;s has used a number of <u>different bottlers</u> over the years, which would explain the &quot;discrepancy&quot; between the 1888 date in the <i>Scribner&#039;s</i> ad and the 1919-1929 dates Rayo mentioned for the particular bottle that you showed. Owen&#039;s could have done the bottles for any period between 1919 &amp; 1929, but another firm or other firms undoubtedly provided them at other times.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found a bit of a history of the Scott&#039;s company here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.chemheritage.org/distillations/magazine/the-man-with-a-fish-on-his-back" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.chemheritage.org/distillations/magazine/the-man-with-a-fish-on-his-back" rel="nofollow">https://www.chemheritage.org/distillations/magazine/the-man-with-a-fish-on-his-back</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Following is some info from that site:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>In <b>1873</b> Alfred B. Scott came to New York City and, along with partner Samuel W. Bowne, began experimenting to produce a less nauseating preparation of cod-liver oil. <b>Three years later </b>they established the firm of Scott and Bowne, and began marketing their product as Scott’s Emulsion. </i></p><p><br /></p><p>… <i>by the 1890s Scott and Bowne had factories in Canada, England, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and France, and advertised their emulsion throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia. </i></p><p><br /></p><p>… <i>Neither Scott nor Bowne lived to see the advent of the age of vitamins, which became the new “wonder drugs” and a boon to the marketers of cod-liver oil. The two died in 1908 and 1910, respectively, as wealthy men. Their emulsion survived them ...</i></p><p><br /></p><p>… <i>Scott’s Emulsion remained on the market as a popular and more palatable alternative to pure oil. </i></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000"><i><b>(It is) still produced today in much the same formula (!)</b></i></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
